I go hiking a lot. The last years it`s mostly been for a day or two, so I`ve usually brought fresh food, but I`m about to start doing it more and longer trips again.

I`m the army we used to have these packs that we just added water to and let sit for a few minutes. They`ve been quite popular with hikers for some years noe, too.

Problem is offcourse, that they`re not exactly bloodtype specific. I have therefore decided to try and make my own.

What I need is separate, preferably organic, individual ingredients that I can mix and match to my own liking.

Has anyone tried this before? Any idea where I can order such things?

You can buy yourself a dehydrator and make your own dried foods.

Walton Feed sells individual dehydrated foods...

After all the Katrinas, tsunamis, politics, and other things in the world, I decided that if there was an emergency, I wanted to Eat Right 4 My Type.  I really had to comb the ingredient lists for freeze-dried type foods because most have ingredients I couldn't eat.  I did find a pure beef at mountainhouse.com.  I think I also bought pure green beans from them too.  I found a few foods at nitro-pak.com.  Then I dehydrated some fruits and vegetables and vacuum-packed them in FoodSaver bags and packed them away in paint pail buckets.  I made jerkey and did the same.  Finally, since I found that most Beech-Nut babyfood had no avoids  (pure beef, veal, chicken and turkey for me).  This goes a little beyond what you are looking for, but it's what I did.  Most of my stuff is stashed away - it gave me a comfort zone.

talk to NASA?

I can not recall the company, but there is an existing company brand that I have seen at natural food stores that make dried peas, bananas, tomatoes, mixed vegetables, blueberries, et al.

Unfortunately, I do not believe the products are organic.

It would be a great investment to purchase a dehydrator and make your own endless variations of dried foods.

Those are so expensive, too! I'd use the money you would save on buying them and put it toward a dehydrator (but I've already said that).

I found a brand new dehydrator at the thrift store for 10 bucks! I dried bananas and freshly shredded coconut. It did an excellent job. I'd like to try making my own vegetable soup base of powdered dehydrated vegetables - anyone had any luck with this? Recipes?

Dehydrating can be addictive!

You could probably dehydrate diced onions, carrots, celery, garlic as a soup base for a foundation for making soups/stews.

An old friend of mine would make bean soups and dehydrate them for backpacking trips.

I guess I can just combine dried and freeze dried and put them in vacum bags.

If I let them sit in water in the pan for ten minutes before I start heating it, I should avoid wasting any fuel.
